I have been watching your videos on your channel Paula and I can tell you this is my favorite so far. The way you created the ad at the very beginning was really good. I thought the video already started, but by the time I read the top message saying it was an AD, I already watched and enjoyed it. I love this video because you have been a storyteller for this entertaining tale, all praise GENCON for another year of life! As a content creator on the internet is an honor to watch your content due to your ideas, creativity, and humor related to board games. Keep up the awesome job, Paula!
I’ve been considering attending GenCon for the first time, either next year or the year after. After finding out the truth, I’m not sure if I now want to go more or less than I did before…
And all the worshippers gathered, in ritual sacrifice, they destroyed Cardhalla with triumphent cheers, then they slayed genevieve and auctioned her head (and games!). Altogether these efforts raised 40k for the Patachou foundation. All hail the dragon.
Nice krokin-hole filling. This is also why there's a dragon on the Welsh flag. The dragon in question is really self-conscious & can't stand to see its own form, & the flags are all that keep it from resurfacing & ravaging the planet. True story maybe..
I hope everyone is a willing participant. I wonder if any of those sacrificed have been tricked by the tagline, thinking they were coming to play a game when they were really making the ultimate sacrifice. I must admit, I don't think I would have been ready to be one of those sacrificed. I better stay away. :-p
Pfft... this is the secret gathering for neophytes, the TRUE GenCon, for the antediluvians among us.... nevermind, forget I said anything. It's safer for all of us. I must return to my abode where the lakes are great and the snow falls as if a portal to Stygia, or even Cania some years, opens every winter season.
Hears the deal...If you try Mountain Hagan instant against Many Worlds Instant and tell me MW is better, I will buy some. I spent a lot of time trying different instant coffees to find the best. Game on!
Okay Paula, I know we can't know the ritual, but you're going to either have to tell us or the authorities what happened to those kids who seemed to have disappeared in your post ritual shot?
Ah, so that's why there was an all-Bard D&D game at the GCN booth. First to sing the song to soothe the dragon, and then to feed the dragon, because Bards, right? Hope you're feeling better (I will only be on Twitter if I own it, so never so no idea what's going on, just you've not streamed in 2 days), and everyone go watch her 2 Glass Cannon Network videos from the ritual sacrifice err...GenCon.
@@PaulaDeming What??? You're taking time off to enjoy life, have fun, and relax? Streamers are allowed to do that? Why I never! Have a lot of fun and relaxation. We'll see you when you get back. Well, only the VODs as I never get up early enough to watch you despite living in the Central time zone.
Great work! quite funny, but there was a kernel of truth. I attended my first GenCon 40 yrs ago and I had an epiphany. I looked around and saw hundred of people at tables, playing games and having fun. Not everyone got along, but differences were worked out during the game (usually). I can't think of a better group of people to run our country--any country. I know I'm idealistic, but the talent, ability and intellect are all there.
This is a stupid comment. Settling in river deltas is what turned humans from rudimentary hunter gatherers into great civilizations. Yes, natural disasters happen. They happen almost everywhere. It is the height of absurdity to assign blame to human populations for living in a place effected by natural disasters. As people stupid to settle in areas with heavy blizzards? What about the Italian villages in the Earthquake zones? What about the huge middle of America that is effected by tornados and ice storms? What about all the massive portion of Earth that gets hit by hurricanes most years? If humanity shouldn’t settle in any of these places where should they settle? There are very few places not susceptible to cataclysmic natural disasters. Perhaps though, given the second part of your criticism, you are a fan of the depopulation movement? You think people should only live in small pockets of safety from the natural world and they should not have children. Sounds like you will be quite content in the WEF’s pod cities with a tiny global population.

wow, what an incredibly kind comment! Thank you so, so much!
Paula, your sacrifice, and those made by all attendees, is noted and appreciated.
True investigative journalism into the dark and murky world of Gen Con. we thank you for bringing this to light.
it was a dark journey, but worth it
I’ve been considering attending GenCon for the first time, either next year or the year after. After finding out the truth, I’m not sure if I now want to go more or less than I did before…
killed me @ Joe and the Norse Foundry guys in their lobster tank!

I made it onto a Paula Deming video (in the background) my life is COMPLETE!!! Great video Paula!!!!!
Such great games and I love this documentary feel!
Finally, we see someone with the courage to reveal the TRUTH about Gen Con!
Nice krokin-hole filling.

This made my day, i loved it so much!!
This is one of my favorite Dicey videos yet ✨
Well I’m glad you like it so much!
Thank you so much for your sacrifice for humanity. GenCon all makes sense to me now.
You are so welcome
Pretty Funny Balloons made the Dragon. They're the best.
And that's the end of the story, but the beginning... of the mystery!
I love this so much. Remember is sekrit.
If only many world's tavern was a real coffee this was an ad instead of an elaborate sketch, it sounds so yummy 🤤
This is now canon.
I was there! Came so close to seeing the dragon feast on us...we were so close!
Wild Murph sighting @ 1:27 - they're trying to sabotage the ritual!
those skunks!
Mmmm.... Electric Sheep coffee... couldn't resist. I'm looking forward to trying it out when it arrives.
I hope everyone is a willing participant.

:-p
awww dave and ilka
The spirit of the dragon visited my booth at GenCon. It merely flitted over, menacingly whispering "Feed me Seymour! I need more gamer souls..."
Thank you for complying to the request (you DID feed the dragon, right?!)
@@PaulaDeming
*glances back and forth*
I uh... I didn't feed the dragon...
*grimaces*
That's bad isn't it?
Brilliant video, wonderful job my friend 👏
Pfft... this is the secret gathering for neophytes, the TRUE GenCon, for the antediluvians among us.... nevermind, forget I said anything. It's safer for all of us. I must return to my abode where the lakes are great and the snow falls as if a portal to Stygia, or even Cania some years, opens every winter season.
Rofl! This was awesome! I'm so happy we got to meet at GenCon! See you again on the next one! 😁
At 1:58 you might have caught the designers of Lotus on camera. Or it could be 2 other people named Jordan and Mandy.
or people who just happen to be wearing shirts that say Jordan and Mandy, I suppose
Excited for the partnership with GCN! Haven't listened to any of that content yet but looking forward to it.
Many Worlds Tavern is so great!! We got to meet them and they are the best!! 👍👍
Keep up the good work of saving the world!
Hears the deal...If you try Mountain Hagan instant against Many Worlds Instant and tell me MW is better, I will buy some. I spent a lot of time trying different instant coffees to find the best. Game on!
I see you played Crokinole! I love that game! Would love to play a game of that with you sometime!
Okay Paula, I know we can't know the ritual, but you're going to either have to tell us or the authorities what happened to those kids who seemed to have disappeared in your post ritual shot?
lots of secrets i see

ha yeah exactly!
I'm on holiday so no streams for a few more days, then all will be back to normal!

Great soundtrack FWIW!
I had to stop three times because of ROFL. This video is your best one Paula. It's amazing! ^^
haha well I'm glad you liked it so much!!
@@PaulaDeming Have a muffin. ^^
You are a delight. :-)
Very funny as always Paula. Hope humanity can be saved at Airecon next year too 🙂
Super clever!
hey, thanks Henri!
Very creative !
not sure if the Pandemic training at basic and immediate for pandemic legacy really worked though
I am not in the States and can't even import food into my country. Is it useful to you in any way if I watch the ad or can I just skip it?
don't tell anyone that I told you this, but if you skip to the chapter marker that shows the start of the sketch video, no one will know ;)
@@PaulaDeming Thanks, didn't want to skip it if it was useful to you : )
That's the face of a Crokinole player catching the bug. Bought a board yet?
crossing my fingers for a birthday present...

😊
My secret, I always skip the ads in the beginning.
but sometimes I say funny things in them!
@@PaulaDeming oh no, am i missing out on inside jokes? I’m having serious FOMO of laughs now.
Of course they saved the world: they played at Pandemic. 😅
Sadly I’ll not go to any conventions as long as I need to be muzzled.
Such a shame. 😔
This was cute. I miss gencon...
Only an hour later ? on the warming plate ?
No warming plate needed!
Homage to Gen Con or homage to B-roll?
Yes.
I offer my humble comment for the Dragon and Algorithm Gods. 🙏🐉

Why is everyone wearing masks?
covid protocols
Aside: As it stands, will be mandatory at Essen Spiel in Oct'22 as well. Better safe than sorry I guess.
